Auto Racing: Nissan will join Audi, Porsche and Toyota at Le Mans next year with a full factory entry in the 24-hour sportscar race, the Japanese carmaker said. Nissan, who have never won at the La Sarthe circuit and last entered a works team in 1999, will also compete in the world endurance championship from 2015. “We won’t be turning up in a vehicle which is a basically another hybrid that looks like another Porsche, Audi or Toyota,” executive vice-president Andy Palmer said in a statement. “The brief to the team is to go with something different and exciting and of course, go to win.” Mazda are the only Japan manufacturer to have won Le Mans, in 1991.
